The hardest thing: Trying to accept my life for what it is and not losing sight of what I want it to be.

he would be hard to chase but good to catch
and he could change the world with his hands behind his back.
you can find him sitting on your doorstep,
waiting for the surprise.
it will feel like he’s been there for hours,
and you can tell that he’ll be there for life.

I went a bit Tilt-Shift crazy on Photoshop last night…but I’m still amazed at how simple it was to learn! Definitely will be using this trick high and often. This super pushes my I-want-an-expensive-camera buttons, but I must resist.
For now, I shall relish in my trusty Canon S90 and my memories of fairy tale Prague.

I’m feeling half alive but I know
one day you & I will be free
to live & die by our own rules.
free, despite the fact that men are fools.
I’m almost alive.

(A little late…but)
Happy 21st Anniversary to my Beloved BOMBBetas!
I’ve tried not to look back too much on college since it ended, but I can’t help but to think about the last year, and the wonderful climax of my aKDPhi life. There are four years worth of pictures I could post, all thick with memory but I chose one that highlights some of the girls who have walked with me throughout my whole college experience. I’ll always love my “Seniors”, but we ain’t even old!! ;)
To keep it as short, simple and un-sappy as possible, I’m so glad to be a part of the legacy that is Beta Chapter. So many snapshots fill my mind and it is all so undoubtedly, unbelievably, unspeakably, fantastic!

London, England
December 12, 2010
I caved in and watched the late-night/early morning romantic splendor that is the Royal Wedding…so I skipped a couple cities and decided to declare my love for London before I slept.
Big Ben in all his glory, Westminster Abby peeking out from behind the trees and London’s signature cloudy skies = <3
Being a sucker for weddings, it’s nice to know that there are two very happy people out there somewhere today. (Melts my stone-cold cynical heart) Inspiration enough to have a good day I suppose. Kudos to that!

Today I woke up with an asymmetrical face. That is to say, one of my eyes hid behind a dozen little folds while the other absolutely to refused to crease at all. Even after severe poking and prodding, I still looked freaking deranged. It was quite fantastic. (GREAT day for meeting new people at the art gallery….)
To extend the exposure of my new crooked peepers, I promptly forgot my sunglasses at home and headed straight to one of the largest malls in the San Diego area. This was good for my migraine as well as for making new friends.
Sooo now I am sitting at Starbucks contemplating making the one minute drive home, (Yes, it is literally one minute and Yes, I drove) and all I can think about is how much I miss the coffee in Italy. I miss that any given cup on any given day was (like basically everything else in Europe) nearly flawless and completely satisfying.
Soy Latte, you can suck it. (But I still need you.)

I’ve been feeling so uninspired lately. On nights like this it’s especially hard to believe that I ever traveled at all. It’s getting harder to pull out the positives out of life. I just need something to hang on to. I have to be able to imagine that someday I will have dreams again. (and the momentum to pursue them!)

Pluripremiata Gelateria
San Gimignano, Italy
November 11, 2010
I know this is far from the picture perfect scoop, half eaten, lopsided, and melting. But I felt a little down today and in an effort to cheer up decided that any picture of ice cream makes for a happy post. This specific cone is rumored to have once won the “best gelato in the world” contest. Not bad.
Missing the days when all I had to worry about was rainwater in my gelato.

Venezia, Italy
November 13, 2010
I was debating whether or not to post this picture in black and white. I kinda liked the blue gondola coverings, the dark green water and the misty sky in the background. But I also like the calm that the grey tones bring me when I look at this. Wandering through the empty streets of Venice, I had a feeling, a bit similar to what I am feeling right now.
Venice was almost as quiet as it looks when I went in November. Me and Maixia wandered through the empty streets for almost an hour and crossed countless canal bridges before we actually found signs of civilization. We knew it was out there, but it took awhile to find.

“I was never in love with someone else. I never had somebody waiting on me. ‘Cause you were all of my dreams come true, and I just wish you knew. Taylor, I was so in love with you.” [New lyrics to Enchanted]

It’s probably just a publicity stunt, but this brightened my day. Is it silly of me to want to believe that real appeals of love and the intentions behind them still exist? Fear not, my personal sense cynicism is still intact!
